Just a few in the US - and they were all different at that time. They were all intertwined with politics at their time. Quick google search though, not sure how good the sources are:

Railroad: https://digfir-published.macmillanusa.com/roark7e/roark7e_ch18_4.html

Steel, oil, and tobacco: https://19thcentury.us/19th-century-monopolies/

Telco: https://www.promarket.org/2023/02/20/when-considering-breaking-up-big-tech-we-should-look-back-to-att/

Or just recently: take a look at China. How Chinese Big Tech influence on society was crushed and control was taken back by the Communist Party in the past 5 years.
